Del Fierro's name lives on in the Filipino Community of Seattle, with records of him signing off on the creation of Dr. Jose Rizal Park, and an illustrious legacy serving as President of the Filipino Association in Ketchikan, as well as the Filipino Community of Seattle. Del Fierro's political acumen was in part his skill, and through the fates, when his nephew, Ramon Magsaysay, became a contender in the race for President of the Philippines - and won by a landslide. 

In Seattle, Del Fierro organized the "Magsaysay for President" club, helping to fund Magsaysay's success in the Philippines as well as strengthen diplomacy between the US and the Philippines following WWII. Del Fierro's organizational talent served to catalyze the final fundraising push to establish the physical Filipino Community Center which stands today on MLK Way South. Today, the center is indispensable in the fabric of FilAm Seattle offering a variety of cultural enrichment programming, language classes, resources like free meals for seniors, and housing. 

Del Fierro's legacy of political organizing is also evidenced in his work to desegregate public schools in Ketchikan Alaska. Incredibly important to note are the Native community organizations that fought alongside him for a similar cause. Though the record does not mention their collaboration, Filipinos and Alaska Natives were segregated and forced into living in close proximity, in what is now known as the Stedman-Thomas Historic District. As we continue to research in archives across Washington, we learn more and find more records about Filipino life in Seattle. This information too is critical as it informs how Filipinos can collectively determine how our history is remembered. Scholarship speaks to the intricate ways that Alaska Native interests as manifested through the Alaska Native Brotherhood were different in aim and scope from those advanced by Filipino-led unions. To truly understand these nuances is to account for our responsibility as storytellers.
